GBPC1510W

Overview

The onsemi GBPC1510W is a single-phase bridge rectifier from the GBPC 12, 15, 25, 35 series. It features an integrally molded heat sink and glass-passivated junctions for maximum heat dissipation. The device has a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 1000 V and an average rectified forward current (IF(AV)) of 15 A at a case temperature of 55°C. It supports a non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 300 A for an 8.3 ms single half-sine-wave pulse. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and utilizes a GBPC-W package with wire leads.

Feature Summary

• Integrally molded heat sink provides very low thermal resistance for efficient heat dissipation.
• Glass passivated junctions ensure high reliability and stability under various operating conditions.
• Offers isolated voltage from case to lead exceeding 2500 V for enhanced safety.

Applications

• Power supply units requiring high-voltage rectification
• Industrial motor drives and control systems
• Battery charging circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'W' corresponds to the wire lead structure variant rather than standard solder pin terminals. Confirm that the procurement documentation explicitly references the GBPC-W package type to ensure mechanical compatibility with the intended PCB layout or terminal connections.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V rating and 15 A continuous current are required in a compact through-hole form factor. Ensure the application can accommodate the 83.3 W power dissipation capability and verify that the mounting torque does not exceed 20 in-lbs to prevent mechanical damage to the leads or housing.

Part Context

This part belongs to the GBPC 12, 15, 25, 35 series of bridge rectifiers manufactured by onsemi. The series offers various voltage ratings from 50 V to 1000 V and current ratings up to 35 A. The GBPC1510W specifically denotes the 15 A current class with a 1000 V blocking voltage capability.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 15 A current rating, 1000 V reverse voltage, and GBPC-W package dimensions. Verify that any substitute component maintains similar thermal resistance characteristics and surge current capabilities to ensure circuit integrity without redesigning the cooling infrastructure.
